We immediately knew where we'd be stopping for our coffee today. This is such a cute little shop. They have a great menu with not only coffee, but also smoothies and lemonades. They have the perfect fruity options for a day spent by the beach. We ordered shaken espressos with vanilla and vanilla foam (or cold lava as they call it.) They were so good!! It was so nice to find something close by that we enjoyed that isn't Starbucks! Huge bonus for the fact that they use coffee cubes instead of regular ice cubes. It makes such a difference when you're a slower coffee enjoyer like I am! We will definitely be popping in for our daily dose of java a few more times this trip!

Thankfully, Planet Smoothie is, and it was just what we were looking for! My husband and I met up with a friend at this location around 10 AM, and we pretty much had the place to ourselves! There's some seating inside, and a bench outside too. This is mainly a smoothie shop, but they do have a few bowl options. My friend and I ordered the Dark & Dreamy with an açai base, and it was tasty. The toppings tasted fresh, and the base wasn't overly sweet.

We have been here a couple times and the young lady inside is friendly and know her stuff. The bananas and strawberries are our favorites but the milkshakes are mighty fine too !

So we're very excited that a Bahama Buck's location opened close to us in Orange Beach AL! This is the very best shaved ice you will ever put in your mouth. The texture is so smooth I can't even describe it. You have to taste it yourself. And the ice cream stuffed inside elevates this treat to a level beyond compare. Very cute and casual atmosphere with a small-town feel. The staff were helpful, didn't mind answering our questions, were all very polite, and even let us taste a couple of flavors. Can't wait to go back!!

Bright, airy, modern. The clientele is bougie enough that I felt a little out of place, lol, but I still enjoyed being there. I had a little bit of a hard time figuring out their menu. Signage is kind of limited and small, clustered on a counter which isn't easy to see if there's a line. I later found on their website that they have "local fave lattes," many of which sounded better than what I wound up ordering. I wish they'd been listed on a menu that I saw. At any rate, I decided on a shaken brown sugar latte. The employee who took my order was adequately if not effusively friendly. There were several young women working hard behind the counter to accommodate the large volume of orders. It took a bit for me to get my drink, but within a reasonable amount of time considering how busy they were. I thought the price was maybe a smidge high for the size of the drink, but what else is new these days? I got my drink and headed to my car. Overall, it was just okay. My first sip was a huge overly sweet mouthful of brown sugar; I don't think it was mixed super well. I moved my straw up and got a second mouthful of mostly milk. Then I used the straw to mix the drink myself and gave it a few gentle swishes with my hand. That helped some. This was a decent brown sugar espresso, but even after I mixed more thoroughly, it was still on the overly milky side for my preferences. Again, I wish I'd seen a different latte option to order. I think I might've liked a different flavor combination more. When I eventually return to the Gulf, I may give them another try and get something more up my alley. I enjoyed the modern, sunshiney, beachy vibes and would like to sit on the patio and enjoy a coffee when time permits.

They were so good I immediately regretted not being hungrier. I was seriously tempted to order more just to try other items on the menu. We also shared the rainbow flight and had the picnic margarita--everything we tried was fantastic. The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Parking is a bit limited, with a small lot in the back and some street parking if you're lucky--but it's definitely worth the effort. Next time, I'm coming hungry and staying for a full meal.
